And instead of doing it with a 5-foot-8 mascot in spandex, he practiced it with a 5-foot-9 Wizards communications manager named Daren Jenkins. Who was wearing jeans, and not spandex.

“I watched the videos a couple times, and that’s when I felt comfortable with it,” Wall told “Mike and Mike” on Tuesday morning, while explaining the origins of the dunk. “But it still seemed hard to me in my head. And the first time I ever got to practice it was Thursday when I got to New Orleans. And the first time I tried it, I dunked it pretty easy. So I stuck with it: I said that’ll be my dunk that nobody’s ever seen before, and hopefully the crowd will like it.”
